Myles' POV
The next morning I woke to the sound of the clinking of mugs- groggily I rubbed the sleep from my eyes before sitting up. Briar stood at the foot of the bed; "I brought you tea!" She says cheerily, walking to my side and handing me the cup.
"Someone's happy(!)" I mention at her sudden change of attitude.
"Yep! My mum sent a text; my dad should recover within the next few weeks!"
"That's great news!" I take another sip before downing the hot beverage.

"Myles- thank you so much for your support. I honestly don't know what I would do without you!" Her warm lips connect with my cheek for a brief moment,  I smile in return.

Briar's POV
"I'll leave you to freshen yourself - I'm off to do my make up. See ya." I disappear behind the door before walking to the bathroom, changing clothes and getting ready for the day.
Tipping my make up bag into the sink, my brushes topple out; piling on one another. I look up and catch my own eye in the mirror- my green eyes start to bleed pitiful water which mysteriously began; I guess the image of my dad was resembled in my face and I had remembered how unstable his condition is.

The girl in the mirror was dishonest; a liar to her closest friend- my dad was not okay. Nor was he recovering. He was quite the opposite actually.

I wanted Myles to think I was okay; but slowly my walls were crumbling down and I would become vulnerable again.

A/N: not really sure what the hell happened in this chapter- I'm sorry about the lack of updates: I've been so busy with dance and I've been dying with a cold.

OMG WHAT I HAVE 1K reads!! That's insane thank you
